Dried Tulips. Sometimes some flowers will lose their petals while others will just ‘mummify’ in the warmth of the studio conditions.
I know that some people are not keen on decay and that others love it.
But here I saw such beauty still, in the shapes and the colours.
Another of my personal favourites.
I just HAD to photograph them!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thanks for your ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)

I don’t get embarrassed much anymore at my age. A psychologist might tell me that is because I have lowered my expectations of myself.
But I did feel a little uneasy a few days ago on an isolated country road. My full-time wildlife spotter and I were traversing our way alongside a large partially snow-covered field when we spotted a male and female sandhill crane stopped in a field just about 15 yards from the road.
The larger male crane was seeking to impress the uninterested female with a traditional crane mating dance, jumping high into the air, picking up some dead grass and throwing it as high as he could and just generally making a fool of himself.
He must have gotten a little discouraged the lack of response as he paused when he saw our stopped vehicle. He then left his mate and came over to the edge of the field directly in front of us. With little ado, he began a dance just for me, at least I hope it was for me.
This photo gives a pretty good view of just how enormous the wingspan is of these creatures who are now flying back to Minnesota to spend time with us.

The Dancer here is demonstrating a very typical Eye expression that we see in all the dances here. Legong Dance, Ubud, Bali.

Inspired by the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
In the story, Sherlock Holmes examines the occurrences of the dancing figures and realizes that it is a substitution cipher. He then cracks the code by frequency analysis.
Not all letters appear in the book. Sherlock Holmes fans have tried to find a pattern for many years. A Danish scholar, Aage Rick Sorensen, found a hidden pattern in the cipher and added the missing letters (and numerals).
Dancing men code is a simple form of monoalphabetic substitution cipher.

Fire dancing (also known as "fire twirling," "fire spinning," "fire performance," or "fire manipulation") is a group of performance arts or disciplines that involve manipulation of objects on fire. Typically these objects have one or more bundles of wicking, which are soaked in fuel and ignited.
Some of these disciplines are related to juggling or baton twirling (both forms of object manipulation), and there is also an affinity between fire dancing and rhythmic gymnastics. Firedancing is often performed to music. Fire dancing has been a traditional part of cultures from around the world, and modern fire performance often includes visual and stylistic elements from many traditions.
